FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to exercise equipment, and more particularly to stationary exercise bikes.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Today all relatively recent trends towards physical fitness awareness have led to an increase in the number of individuals exercising on a regular basis in order to keep physically fit. Several types of exercise equipment are currently in use to provide exercise to persons who wish to keep physically fit without venturing outdoors. One of the most popular of such indoor exercise devices is the stationary exercise bicycle whereby a person pedals a simulated bicycle as a form of exercise.

Early exercise bicycles included apparatus designed to support a conventional bicycle so that the rear wheel thereof can rotate against a frictional load. These types of devices fall into several general categories, the first of which connects the front axle and the bottom bracket of the bicycle to a frame in order to support the bicycle. As with other exercise equipment, exercise bicycles are continually evolving.

Early exercise bicycles were primarily designed for daily in-home use and adapted to provide the user with a riding experience similar to riding a bicycle in a seated position. In many examples, early exercise bicycles include a pair of pedals to drive a single front wheel. To provide resistance, early exercise bicycles and some modern exercise bicycles were equipped with a friction brake.

One of the prior art exercise bikes may include a magnetic braking system to resist rotation of a flywheel. The magnetic braking system may be magnets mounted on brackets selectively pivoted relative to the frame to increase or decrease the resistance opposing rotation of the flywheel. The brackets may be pivoted using a brake adjustment assembly joined to the brackets in such a manner that the magnetic forces resisting rotation of the flywheel increase or decrease in a proportional manner over at least a portion of the adjustment range of the brake adjustment assembly. The exercise bike may further include a console that displays information, such as power. The power may be estimated from a look-up table using the crank or flywheel speed of the exercise bike measured using a speed sensor and the tilt angle of the brackets relative to a reference point measured using a power sensor that includes an accelerometer.

Another prior art stationary bicycle includes load-providing components allowing for fine-tuned adjustment of the selected load. The load providing components are made of relatively simple mechanical components so as to increase the reliability, reduce the maintenance and provide a relatively smooth cycling feel.

To the extent as being effective, there is always a need for new and improved exercise bike.

The present invention aims to solve this problem by simple and convenient means.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An exercise bike machine includes a first frame presenting a front end and a rear end, the first frame supports and is attached to a seat, handlebars and a flywheel, also comprising pedals rotatably attached to the first frame and operatively connected to the flywheel. The first frame further includes a rear support tube adapted to receive a seat tube. The seat tube is slidably located in the rear support tube. A second frame presents a mechanical connection for removable engaging the second frame with the first frame, the mechanical connection defined at the rear end of the first frame and the second frame and the second frame and the rear support tube. The second frame includes a bottom section and a top section selectively movable relative to one another along an axis A.

The top section presents a bar element to allow a user to peddle the flywheel by holding the bar and pull up at the bar to effect heart rate, burns calories, raises metabolism. The exercise bike machine of the present invention works by peddling the bike by holding the handle bars and or the pull up bar, and as a user pedals, the user is able to adjust the intensity knob to a desired level as the user goes back and forth to the handle bars and pull up bar.

An advantage of the present invention is to provide the exercise bike machine that effects heart rate, burns calories, raises metabolism.

Another advantage of the present invention is to provide the exercise bike machine is also great for cardiovascular and CrossFit training.

Still another advantage of the present invention is to provide the exercise bike machine works the entire leg, lat, and back muscles and the core, abdominal and oblique area.

Still another advantage of the present invention is to provide the exercise bike machine will stand on being the best overall full body workout machine, it targets more muscle groups at one time than anything in its class or anything on market at this time.

Yet another advantage of the present invention is to provide the exercise bike machine gives the user the best combination of light strength training and cardio, or calisthenics and cardio mixed with CrossFit in one machine or workout.
